 In an article for the ''Big Issue'', Iain Duncan Smith argued that Britain was heading for 'social apartheid' because of the welfare system. In laying out his agenda for the [[Centre for Social Justice]], he cited the work of [[Charles Murray]] arguing that:
-:The right-wing commentator Charles Murray has described the emergence of a caste society where the cheapest option becomes the segregation of society’s most vulnerable and most dysfunctional members. In Murray’s gated society problems are never conquered – only managed. Some people are literally imprisoned. Some, particularly minority communities, live in heavily-policed urban ghettoes. In this vision of social apartheid some are kept permanently on benefits. Others are becalmed by Ritalin and equivalent drugs.

 :There is one sure way of making sure that this dystopian caste society becomes a horrible reality for Britain. And that is to carry on as we are. Labour may hate the idea of a caste society but that is exactly where we’ll end up if we stick with their big-state, values-free mindset.<ref>Iain Duncan Smith, [http://www.iainduncansmith.org/article.aspx?id=23&ref=49 We're heading for social apartheid in Britain if we don't change course], ''IainDuncanSmith.org'', Accessed 21-February-2010</ref>
